I haven't watched tv on a regular basis in a loooong time.

One thing I have noticed, and I am curious if any of you have experienced this as well; When I talk to people that are liberal that still watch tv and the news regularly, I can tell they are brainwashed to the extreme, no exaggeration, almost every single time.Whenever I try to engage in conversation with them, not being aggressive at all, just talking and making sure I am being respectful while doing so, they still almost always seem to get over-defensive, and when presented with actual facts, they just shut down/ change the subject/ don't want to talk about it anymore.

Has anybody else here had a similar experience?
